glad the outline of my plans meet with your approval. I will write you
again

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & AL[draft] &

as I first thought upon receiving your letter - prematurely back.

at this juncture makes all the difference. One just has to sit

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Paul HumphreysLondon; Dear Mr. Humphreys. Thank you for your letter and I
shall like very much to speak in your series "Liberty and the Individual"?

76

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Augustus JohnLondon; Dear John. My compliments - your letter to the Times
about the massacre of the pictures was timely, as such things fizzle out

76

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Geoffrey
GrigsonLondon; Dear Grigson. Thank you foryour note. As the Oxford
Press are to publish a "Democracy in American" a few sentences would have to be
altered,

76

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Allen TateLondon; Dear Tate. It was very kind of you to airmail the mss.
of "America and Cosmic Man." Did you I wonder see in a New York literary
magazine

76

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Geoffrey
GrigsonLondon; Dear Grigson. Very anxious to have more facts about
the attacks on you by Sitwells. In the last instance it is also an attack on
me.

76

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Augustus JohnLondon; Dear John. I am moving round again now, thank
goodness. Are you recovered and when will you be up in town? [On verso

filled my studio

76

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy] to W. M.

mine.

76

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Anna KallinLondon; Dear Miss Kallin. Thank you for your letter, and I
should like to do a crisis talk. I should be delighted to have lunch with
you

76

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Michael AyrtonLondon; Dear Ayrton. I should have sent you this note sooner
but for the demoralization which with me always accompanies "flu".

76

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Felix
GiovanelliLondon; Dear Gio. Your letter with its magnificent proposal
has just arrived. This most kind and generous impulse of yours will certainly
help us

76

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft]S to Felix

The winter here is a whole-time job. All the pipes are on the outside of the

KruikLondon; Dear Van der Kruig[sic]. The other day I received a
visit from Rohrmann who gave me rather alarming news about you.

76

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Naomi
MitchisonLondon; Dear Maomi. An influenza visitation leaves me a little
jaded - before that I was to the exclusion of all else finishing a book,

76

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft]S to Dorothy PoundLondon; Dear Dorothy. At last I have discovered your address.
The masses of papers in this studio have a way of engulfing epistles

76

writing about you too. At least a year must elapse however before the book

Lewis, Wyndham TL[draft] to Editions Poetry

once or twice, but repeatedly, he wrote you upon various matters [Written by

the letter to Nicholas Moore. I am awfully sorry to have to bother you [With
AL[draft] to Moore.]

76

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to Katherine WebbLondon; Dear Mrs. Webb. It would be better for the momeent I
think to confine ourselves to the main thing, namely the novel.

76

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Sir Nicholas
WaterhouseLondon; Dear Docker. Only yesterday I handed in my mss., 7
months late. This does not mean that I have been lying down on the job.

76

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to T. W. HeathLondon; Dear Heath. I thought I had better get a synopsis for
you that would make clear my intention.

rather, for I should have notified you of my visit - not finding you in

76

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Allen TateLondon; My dear Tate. Thank you for your air-mail note: when I
learnt that you were going away for 3 weeks on July 4

answering your request for further particulars. First the name is Wyndham
Lewis,

hence the delay in answering. - I should be very glad to write something

exceptionally welcome and unexpected arrival of a parcel of food.

76

writing more fully in a few days) to forbid you to send my expensive food
parcels

76

facts

for me a mysterious stranger - all I know is that you must have obtained my
address

been marked by two Canadian events:

shall after all write up to seventy-five thousand words.

this further one about the baths in Finland.

77

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Sir Nicholas
WaterhouseLondon; Dear Docker. This is a difficult and gloomy letter to
write and last night when I rang you

77

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Geoffrey StoneLondon; Dear Stone. As I do not expect anything American to
stay put, it was with surprise -

77

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Sir Nicholas
WaterhouseLondon; My dear Docker. I am most deeply grateful. It was
distressing to have to turn to you again

77

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Felix
GiovanelliLondon; Dear Giovanelli. You and Margaret have again laid me
under a deep obligation

77

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to David KahmaLondon; Dear Kahma. A answer at least, disgracefully late,
really no more than a breathless note.

77

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Messrs. Fisher &
KnightLondon; Dear Sirs. My inquiries at the office had tended to
show that nothing much need be expected

77

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to W. M. MitchellLondon; Dear Mr. Mitchell. The desease[sic] from which most
London houses suffer has afflicted this one

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TLS to Editor,

on to enquire why people persist

have been looking foward to seeing you

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy] to David

that the Columbia River is giving more trouble, and threatening to submerge

time it has been my intention to take up "One Way Song" again,

77

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to W. M. MitchellLondon; Dear Mr. Mitchell. The other day I came upon the rough
draft of a letter I had written you, clipped to your note announcing

77

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy] to Willis

the chapter I am waiting for. The new pattern presented in your last letter

Roberts, was true to form. Last Tuesday he unexpectedly left in the morning

someone.

Cosmic Man' you sent to me by hand yesterday were an all time low

77

has strayed to other levelments than those that would supervene

77

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy] to A. S. B.
Glover London; Dear Mr. Glover. I was unable again to contact you at
West Drayton. The clauses about which I should be glad some enlightenment

77

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to David KahmaLondon; Dear Kharma. Just a short letter, first to thank you
for the promised butter parcel - though as you got unsealed so quickly

77

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy] to Felix

if you like to get Nash to act as follows: to ask him to send one thing,

77

to New York. Thank you also for renewing your invitation to write

77

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy] to Keidrych

glad to contribute to "Wales". I have seen single copies but to have a number
of them

77

exceedingly for the 12 beautiful large white eggs. Thank you for the
butter,

77

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft, fragment] to Geoffrey

arrived in good time. The bread it makes us to make spares

77

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to Geoffrey
Stone London; Dear Stone. Well I'm damned! You have circled round me
and made your appearance where I least should have expected

77

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy] to James
Johnson Sweeney London; My dear Sweeney. It was very nice to hear from you
again. Sometimes in the Partisan Rev. or elsewhere I come across some writing
of yours:

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy] to D. D. Paige

letters for you. Do you want me to send them to Italy?

77

Lewis, Wyndham TL[draft] & TL[copy]S to Ezra Pound

me do is impossible. It takes me all my time to keep alive,

77

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to David

acknowledging your letter and equally the receipt of 2 splendid cylinders of
butter

77

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to Keidrych

dental preoccupations have obstructed practically everything.

77

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TLS to Lynette Roberts

have to do with myself require immediate action, and obliged me to make
this

78

have received on my return from the country. I am very pleased that my

you are agreable to Gio's proposals. They were not mine of course.

with you naturally that Pound had no treasonable intuitions towards his native
land,

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to Times Literary Supplement,

he chides Mr. Russell, who wrote a Foreword for that book. [With review Lewis

and the poem, I should be very pleased and flattered to find them

78

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Kenneth AllottLondon; Dear Mr. Allott. Thank you for your letter. It pleased
me so much where you said you were puzzled I did not write any more verse.

78

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to David
KahmaLondon; Dear Dharma. This I fear is a very short letter. You
let me say how much I enjoyed your last letter to me the receipt of which this
is the long overdue acknowledgement;

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to David LowLondon; Dear Low. I saw photos of you in St. Louis where I
spent some time; I envied you the Missouri sun. Today I have mailed you my
book

78

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy] to Geoffrey

longish letter to your Austrian address, which I feel somehow you did not
receive.

78

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy] to Alan
Pryce-JonesLondon; Dear Pryce-Jones. I received your letter jesterday -
oddly dated 17th Aug. It naturally seems to me pity that the letter was not
published

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft, fragment] & TL[copy]S to
Lynette RobertsLondon; Dear Lynette Roberts. I am breaking my long silence:
not to answer your charming and amusing letter but just to break the
silence.

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to David Low London; Dear Low. It is very generous of you to let me use one
of your cartoons for a token payment only. Now as to the subject.

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to E. W. F. TomlinLondon; My dear Tomlin. How are you, after all these years?
For one thing (let me answer for you) in a very much pleasanter spot

78

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to David KahmaLondon; Dear Khama. First there are 3 most notable thanks due
from me - (1) on account of 5.16 of excellent butter

78

Lewis, Wyndham AL[copy to Felix Giovanelli

of your father knowing your attachment. Scientific gentlement are so busy

78

its destination. What is more I was pleasantly reminded of Phil Morris,

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to Madelaine

Apes of God' is my property, and I should like to have it translated into
French.

78

morning.

78

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy] to Dorothy
Pound London; Dear Dorothy. Conditiions here do not improve, and I
am very anxious to get out of England for a while. I should probably go to
Canada first

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to David Kahma London; Dear Kharma. For 2 or 3 weeks I have not been well.
There is (as far as I know and as far as the doctors can discover)

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to Richard March London; Dear Mr. March. Your letter (of 16 Sept) is, first of
all unnecessarily rude. You may not have a carbon of it, so here is how you
express yourself

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Lynette
RobertsLondon; Dear Lynette Roberts. There has been a lot of bother
here otherwise I should have been writing you before this. The long poem is
very fine

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Geoffrey StoneLondon; My Dear Stone. So that is where you are! It is
tantalising to think of your relative nearness, for it would please me greatly
to see you again.

am delighted to learn that you are taking the book, and am very much gratified

am glad to hear you are going to translate some pages of the "Apes" for me to
see.

I was very glad to hear that in spite of war and offical cares

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S toFelix Giovanelli

within a few hours of one another. As you may guess, I was enraptured.

the drawings, and those you selected were precisely what I wanted.

78

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S toFelix
Giovanelli London; Dear Giovanelli. The enclosed is a little over the
odds and I hope no one in the publishing office sees it before the contract is
signed.

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Kheidrych Rhys
London; My dear Rhys. It was good news indeed that you like my
massive vignette well enough to take it off right away to the printers

78

Lewis, Wyndham AL[copy to David KahmaLondon; Dear Kharma. This again is no lengthy epistle. It is
most kind of your wife and you to be concerned about my health.

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Lynette
RobertsLondon; Dear Lynette Robers. Enclosed are the lists of works
with prices. When you have finished with them will you please make me a present
of them.

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy to Times Literary Supplement,

on Oct 2, I hope you will not think me uncivil, but the reviewer was no glutton
for work.

78

this piece of good fortune - and I do thank you. Also I apologise for all the

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to D. D. PaigeLondon; Dear Paige. Enclosed are copies of 12 E. P. Letters.
About as many again will follow some time soon. Every line of the type-copy

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Felix Giovanelli
London; Dear Gio. I have had a respite of a few hours and have
been going through odds and ends of publicity material. I don't know what you
have seen

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to John
Sargent London; Dear Mr. Sargent. The agreement reached you safely, I
lean. The two signatures resulted, as I explained upon a slip of paper,

78

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to Geoffrey
Stone London; My dear Stone. Just a note this time - many things are
happening of which I will speak to you later: they monopolize my time

78

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to Felix
Giovanelli London; Dear Gio. Yesterday I sent off a short letter to
Sargent. I had intended mailing copy to you at same time, but found cartoon
mislaid

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Edgar P. Richardson
London; My dear Riichardson. It was a very pleasant surprise
to see Detroit and the rest of the address on the envelope,

78

Lewis, Wyndham TLS & TL[copy] to Willis Feast
London; Dear Father. A very violent head cold visited me last
Wednesday night. Much better now. Your letter came a little before the
cold.

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Felix Giovanelli
London; My dear Gio. A very violent head cold visited me on
Wednesday night of last week. I am much better, but will write more fully

78

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Allan
Gwynne-JonesLondon; Dear Gwynne-Jones. There is obviously somebody or
other who wishes to show the Pound portrait at this time - for I can hardly
suppose

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to David Kahma London; My dear Kahma. There has been a week's blank. A
violent head cold. This is Monday - I am much better and hope I shall be all
right

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Gene NashLondon; My dear Nash. A bestial headcold is - I believe - just
departing, but I still feel a bit wooly. My silence has been abominable.

78

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & AL[draft] to Allan
Gwynne-JonesLondon; Dear Gwynne-Jones. Since, for some reason, you
referred to me, I have expressed my wishes, as also any views

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to D. D. PaigeLondon; Dear Mr. Paige. Thank you for your letter and the
draft of the proposed petition. This greatly delayed answer is owing to the
fact

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to D. D. PaigeLondon; Dear Mr. Paige. Have just sent you, under separate
cover, letter as you suggested. I trust that you will approve of the
quality

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to D. D. PaigeLondon; Dear Mr. Paige. A short while ago I sent two
registered and express letters: one for yourself, and one (at your
suggestion)

78

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & AL[draft] & TL
& TL[copy]S to Times Literary Supplement, Editor London; Sir. The anonymous penman the there-words of who
lucubrations are "of course", at last has spoken. From his long
consultation

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to T. S. Eliot London; Dear Eliot. Your book, "Notes towards the Definition
of Culture", which you were so kind as to direct Fabers to send me,

78

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to Felix Giovanelli
London; Dear Gio. Thank you for your Saturday Nov 5 letter. I
should have expected election-week to entail paralysis of all the faculties

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to [Unknown] London; Dear Sirs. Today I learned from the B. B. C. that you
had been asked by them for my address [On verso AL[daft] to T. S. Eliot,
January 13, 1949; With photostats of each side of leaf.]

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to David KahmaLondon; Dear Kama. The Christmas was a long peace. But from
the first minute of the next day I have been at it.

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Felix Giovanelli
London; Dear Gio. Two letter - the last deferring to my long
letter. Would it be a catherine wheel

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to [Chatto &
Windus?]London; Dear Sirs. By chance this afternoon I unearthed a note
signed P. Braunstein,

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to T. S.
Eliot London; Dear Eliot. Giovanelli was greatly delighted with the
letter you wrote him: that very night it

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to W. M. MitchellLondon; Dear Mr. Mitchell. The other day as you were not
there, I explained to your secretary what I wanted.

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to James Thrall Soby
London; Dear Mr. Soby. The other day I was at the Lefebre
Gallery. People showed me your new book,

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to Julian SymonsLondon; Dear Symons. I was as flattered as I was surprised to
hear on the air the staccato numbers

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[draft]S to Augustus JohnLondon; Dear John. Much water continues to crawl beneath the
London bridges and I never see you.

79

Lewis, Wyndham TLS & TL[copy] to Willis
FeastLondon; Dear Mr. Feast. Long before this I should have written
to thank you for (1) the copy of "The Revenge for Love",

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to John SargentLondon; My dear Mr. Sargent. It was with distinct relief that
I learned the photos would pass muster.

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Nan KivellLondon; My dear Mr.[sic] Nan Kivell. This note is merely for
clarification. It is about the two oil-paintings,

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Dorothy Pound London; Dear Dorothy. I was glad to receive your letter and to
learn that some of that sacro sanct commodity was being shipped.

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to Kenneth AllottLondon; My dear Allott. On dec. 18 last I mailed two identical
letters, simultaneously, one to your university address,

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Archibald
MacLeishLondon; Dear MacLeish. Since hearing from you a month or so
ago I have been painting night and day

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Dorothy PoundLondon; My dear Dorothy. This is splendid: I am glad that
Paiage is getting some money. -

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Felix Giovanelli
London; My dear Gio. Thank you for big letter and enclosures.
You are angelic to bear with what might,

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy] to D. D.
PaigeLondon; Dear Paige. In answer to what you wrote me - a bit
hurried I fear. - (1) As far as I know, there is only the advance on
royalties,

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to John
PalmerLondon; Dear Mr. Palmer. Thank you very much for extracting
the relevant passage from the correspondence concerning my article.

79

the relevant passage from the correspondence concerning my article. [Another
copy of letter in folder 71.]

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to James Thrall
SobyLondon; My dear Mr. Soby. Some time ago I wrote you, but I
daresay you no longer live in Farmington. Peploc, at the Lafevre Gallery, had
rushed up

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to [?] HolgateLondon; Dear Mr. Holgate. Enclosed is the Index - not that it
is much use sending it in, as my poor book seems to be indefinitely held
up.

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to Nan KivellLondon; Dear Mr. Nan Kivell. Your have not clarified for me
those points of which I spoke in my letter. We had better get that tied up.

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to Bank ManagerLondon; Dear Sir. It was agreed that I should remit monthly
the sum of 2 pounds, which, as I had explained to you, was the utmost I could
manage.

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Richard March London; Dear Mr. March. I must now conclude that my letter is
going to remain unanswered. Yet I am informed that you are back

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Partisan Review
EditorLondon; Sir. Excuse me for breaking in upon your as it were
private, and partisan, history-making. In your April issue, which I have just
been sent,

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to Felix
Giovanelli London; My dearest Gio. Thank you for your letter and the
enclosures: but be rational: Since the unspeakably degraded old Crowe

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to [?] MelvilleLondon; Dear Mr.?. Thank you for your letter. Your view of the
London Group, I believe, may be, in some respect, identical with mine.

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TLS & TL[copy] to
Willis FeastLondon; Dear Mr. Feast. Many thanks for your note. The show
opens May 1. Had to push it on one month. I met two nuns yesterday

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to David Kahma London; Dear Kahma. On last Sunday week I said to myself:
"Tomorrow (Monday) I shall be wakened one hour before my getting-up time

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft]S to T. S. Eliot London; My dear Eliot. A great many thanks for your letter for
a U. S. college. It is excellent and should be almost as good as an arts
degree,

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to J. SchwartzLondon; Dear Mr. Schwartz. I have been moving about a great
deal, so this answer to your letter is very much overdue.

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to Theodore
WeissLondon; Dear Weiss. This letter will be reaching you a week or
more later than I had intended. This due to my having to go off [Both draft and
copy have Vita added.]

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to Felix
Giovanelli London; My dear Gio. Thank you for your letter. The good news
on the back of the envelope was cheering. I am eager to hear the details.

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy] to Hugh
KennerLondon; My dear Mr. Kenner. I have taken the unusual course of
writing to a complete stanger as a drowning man clutches at a straw.

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to D. D.
PaigeLondon; Dear Paige. It is with much pleasure - and a modest
quantity of self-approbation - that I gather that you and the poetry-magnate of
Faber

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft]S to Gene NashLondon; My dear Nash. This reply to your kind note must alas
be but a brief message. Next - Monday - week (May 1) the pressure will have
relaxed

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Wyndham VintLondon; Dear Mr. Vint. First let me say how very kind it was
of you to put at my disposal for May the works in Bradford and Gateshead.

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft]S & AL[draft]S to Willis
Feast London; My dear Sir. Regarding visit to twon you speak of = if
you want to see me it must be later. Have just got back from Manchester,

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft]S to Thomas Wade Earp
London; My dear Earp. At last I have your address (Dobson)
& I wonder if we could meet. Perhaps you and May would come up here

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Dwight
MacDonaldLondon; Dear Dwight Macdonald. I was delighted to learn of
your approval - though I knew you would appreciate certain things in my
article.

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Kenneth AllottLondon; Dear Mr. Allott. Believe it or not - as the bit about
strange happenings in the newspapers is headed - but a day or two ago

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Charles Handley-Read
London; Dear Mr. Handley-Read. Just a hurried note to thank
you for your letter. I should of course be most willing to give you any
assistance I can,

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft]S to Marchioness [Sybil?]
CholmondeleyLondon; Never put my nose outside the door but I have the
dreadful feeling I am going to pass you unrecognised in the hurrying crowd
[With Lewis exhibition advertisement with her name written on it.]

79

Lewis, Wyndham ALS to Nan Kivell London; Dear Nan Kivell. Re. The Eliot portrait. - It is
agreed that this portrait should be distinct and in no way involved with one
other arrangement.

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to Charles
Handley-Read London; Dear Mr. Handley-Read. The 16th I shall be delighted
to see you here, and give yo what help I can. It will I am afraid be very much
wanting

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to [?] Newton London; Dear Mrs. Newton. Thank you for your letter; my wife
and I would like very much to come next Friday 13th. We shall arrive

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TLs to Willis Feast
London; My dear Sir. I feel extraordinarily ungregarious just
now, having seen of late far too many people, and it is true that antipathy to
the undergraduate

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to Felix
GiovanelliLondon; My dear Gio. Your two letteres arrived simultaneously
today (monday) at 3.30. Both seethe with promise. It is excellent that Sargent
has succeeded

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Hugh Kenner London; Dear Mr. Kenner. Am just back from a flying-visit to
Paris, which accounts for the lateness of this answering note.

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to [?] RidgewayLondon; Dear Mr. Ridgeway. I have been so exclusively
engrossed in the task of preparing a large retrospective exhibition that I
have,

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[copy]S to Thomas Wade

your notice in the Telegraph + and its use will be boundless.

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Joseph

about my Listeneer articles was tremendously gratifying.

"Time", and for certain handsome passages of same. If that graveyard scene

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Felix Giovanelli

good news about "Commentary". There are the other two names who say they will
write articles

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to F. W. Heath London; My dear Heath. Thank you for your note. It did not
surprise me to hear that you had left Hutchinsons.

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Archibald MacLeish
London; Dear MacLeish. As things are now arranged, in order to
get to the States some dollar-getting or "cultural" mission must be
alleged.

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Alfred Barr,
Jr.London; Dear Barr. Enclosed are a couple of notices (I have
had a gig and excellent press) of a show of my work. There is among other
things a portrait of Eliot,

79

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy] to Cleanth
BrooksLondon; Dear Professor Brooks. As obvious Hugh Kenner (a
student of yours I assume) is no position to do a great deal.

79

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to D. D. Paige London; Dear Paige. My exhibition has kept me fairly busy, and
I have not seen Eliot to talk to much since the sittings.

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Cleanth Brooks
London; Dear Mr. Brooks. I am most grateful to you for your
amiable letter: and if I do succeed, somehow, in getting to the States,

80

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to Felix
Giovanelli London; Dear Gio. Enclosed letter was written long ago, as you
will see, and had been posted I believe. Came across it yesterday

London; Dear MacLeish. Upon returning from the north I find
your note and am most grateful for your action re. Sarah Lawrence College.

80

RothensteinLondon; My dear Rothenstein. Today I brought the T. S. Eliot
portrait to the Tate, and it was taken up to your office.

Sat Review. of May 21, which you were so kind as to send me.

and (2) a first-rae parcel, containing tins of butter among other good
things,

80

just arrived, apprising me of your plan for a book, and enquiring what I think
about it.

80

RothensteinLondon; Dear Rothenstein. I have just learned from someone at
the Tate that my portrait of T. S. Eliot was not bought.

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Dwight

north of England again, and have just found your kind letter,

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Geoffrey StoneLondon; Sear Stone. We have not got to the States yet. I
forget whether I told you about the prospect of a big show of pictures of
mine?

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to Louise ThomasLondon; Dear Miss Thomas. Thank you very much for the cuttings
and I was delighted to hear of Doubledays satisfaction [Thomas was a Doubleday
employee.]

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to Wyndham VintLondon; Dear Mr. Vint. I wonder if you would be so very kind
as to tell me the Bradford address of the "Yorkshire Observer."

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to T. S. Eliot London; Dear Eliot. I was delighted to receive your most
reassuring letter. So the matter is settled, bar the question of procedure.

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Felix
GiovanelliLondon; My dear Gio. The cuttings have just arrived. Thank you
very much for taking all this trouble. - Some one tells me - my dentist

80

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to T. S.
Eliot London; Dear Eliot. I have received the cheque for 300 pounds,
for which many thanks. What was the significance of the additional 50?

80

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to T. S.
Eliot London; My dear Eliot. The more I consider the contents of the
two letters I received this morning, from yourself and from I.A. Richards,

Mr. Soby and Mr. Barr. The latter is Chairman of the Board of Governors, [A
third copy of the letter from folder 24.]

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Augustus John London; My dear John. When your answer to a letter of mine
arrived earlier in the year, I drafted a letter, but through some
oversight,

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to [Unknown]London; Dear Sir. On my return I find your note, containing a
new claim. - Will you please inform me what is now owing, [Addressed "To The
Manager".]

80

a time after the arrival - in my absence - of your kind note.

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to [?] SearleLondon; Dear Mrs. Searle. Here is the substitute note for the
"Arghol" drawing. "Arghol" is a character in a play, written by me in 1914.

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to Wyndham VintLondon; Dear Mr. Vint. We have been spending a little time at
a small farm in the outer suburbs, and now I find your letter,

80

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft & TL[copy]S to Charles
Handley-ReadLondon; Dear Mr. Handley-Read. Your letter very disagreably
surprised me of course. You started by saying "Now I think I know where I
stand/ etc."

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to David Kahma London; My dear Khama. You are always asking me what I want.
Well, next to butter, my major shortage is bread.

book

ex-publisher. You tell me you are engaged upon a "dissertation"

Cosmis Man", must be about complete, by now.

80

eminantly satisfactory a part for the old "Tarr", and for "Wild Body"

80

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Charles
Handley-ReadLondon; Dear Mr. Handley-Read. Your letter came this morning.
My position is a slightly difficult one, since I am naturally unwilling to
repay you

80

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to T. S. Eliot London; Dear Eliot. Thank you for the adjestment in my favour
in the cheque you sent for the purchase of the portrait.

80

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Ivor Armstrong
RichardsLondon; Dear Richards. The only reason for my not writting
sooner is that I have no address except Magdaline, and I feel rather doubtful
about it.

80

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[copy]S to Charles
Handley-ReadLondon; Dear Mr. Handley-Read. It appears that I was mistaken
and that the three pages you sent me are notes only: that there will be another
2 or 3

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to [?] Dow, of the
Transatlantic CouncilLondon; Dear Mr. Dow. Thank you for your letter and enclosure.
There is nothing I would more gladly help to promote than sensible
relations

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to T. S. EliotLondon; My dear Eliot. You are I suppose now back from
Edinburgh. I was very glad to read, by the way, that your play performed up
there

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Charles
Handley-ReadLondon; My dear Mr. Handley-Read. You return to Bryanston on
the 18th? You should I think aim at getting the whole transcript ready

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to Myra PearlLondon; Dear Mrs. Pearl. Of the 1938 portrait I have no
photograph. I loaned the London office of "Time" a book in which the portrait
is reproduced:

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to David KahmaLondon; Dear Khama. I am interested in your autobiography and
I am interested in your dissertations: but do allow me to say that they mix
awfully bad.

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Dennis Williams
London; Dear Williams. This is a very tardy reply to your
communications: but I have been moving about the country,

80

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to William K.

asked for enlightenment was because, had you been an undergraduate at
Harvard,

Fenwick London; Dear Sirs. I cannot understand whether the list of
figures you sent me records cash payments to you on account or not.

80

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to T. S. Eliot London; Dear Eliot. Practically any day except nexyt Monday
will be all right for a meal. Let us go (lunch or dinner) to the Ivy
Restaurant

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Ivor Armstrong
RichardsLondon; My dear Richards. As you will have learned I expect
the Eliot portrait No. 2 is to hand in Magdalene College -

80

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft]S to Lynette Roberts
London; Dear Lynette Roberts. Yesterday I returned from
field-work in the Midlands and received your letter.

80

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Henry SwabeyLondon; Dear Swabey. This is a line or two only - for I must
delay no more in but acknowledge your kind letter of Sept.29,

80

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to Charles
Handley-ReadLondon; Dear Handley-Read. For a matter of 10 days I have been
engaged in field-work in East Anglia, though I should have sent you a note

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Charles
Handley-ReadLondon; Dear Handley-Read. I have been very remiss in not
writing sooner. The fact is I am trying to get a book finished.

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Victor Pasmore
London; Dear Pasmore. Thank you for your note and enclosure.
The photographs interest me very much, and I am look forward a great deal

80

of "Nine", which appears to me an extremely good start

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to David KahmaLondon; My dear Khama. Enclosed is a long note I wrote you as
soon as I received your mss. but I could find no one to type it.

80

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] & TL[ccopy]S to Henry
SwabeyLondon; Dear Swabey. No man is my equal as a bad
correspondent. However, thank you for the very interesting material

80

it from her. And when it went away it came back again.

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Felix
GiovanelliLondon; My dear Gio. I was glad to hear that all was well and
have been trying to sit down to write to you ever since -

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to John SargentLondon; My dear Mr. Sargent. At the top of your letter I see
the date Aug. 20, and I am horrified. The fact is, I have not been in one
place

80

Lewis, Wyndham AL[draft] to [Unknown?
Laundry]London; Dear Sir. I am writing re. the non-delivery of
washing. The reason given is that the road is up. But it is only up on one
side:

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy] to David KahmaLondon; My dear Khama. Now I have to write a very different
letter to the other one I enclose. First, I want you to believe me

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Henry SwabeyLondon; My dear Mr. Swabey. Thank you very much for telling me
about the village school conflict up-to-date. It is full of interest.

80

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to [?] CohenLondon; Dear Mr. Cohen. Thank you for the copy of "Commentary"
which you were so kind as to send me. The wrong review appeared

Lewis, Wyndham TL[copy]S to Dennis H.

sent me by the editor.

80

Lewis, Wyndham TLS to Richard de la Mare London; Dear Mr. de le Mare. These are practically all the
photographs. The best grouping I think would be (1)

a near 70 to 80 thousand words book

80

(1) "Rotting Hill" is not a title I insist on at all.
